Transitional employment

What is transitional employment?

Transitional employment refers to temporary job placements designed to help individuals gain or regain the skills, confidence, and experience needed to enter or reenter the workforce. 

Transitional employment programs often provide not only a job but also support services such as job training, resume building, interview preparation, and sometimes counseling or mental health services. The duration of transitional employment can vary but typically lasts from a few months up to two years, depending on the program’s structure and the individual’s progress.
